Letters in the Ashes

---

Verse 1

Flames dance in the dark like they know my pain

Paper curls slow, whispering your name

Ink runs black, turns to smoke in the air

Every word we wrote just disappears there

Pre-Chorus

I’m watching our history turn into dust

And wondering if you’re thinking of us

Chorus

Letters in the ashes, falling through my hands

Pages turning red like the love we had

Every promise we made, every line we signed

Going up in smoke, one match at a time

I’m burning you away, but I can’t help but ask

Are your letters in the ashes too?

Verse 2

Your handwriting still pulls me in like a tide

Even when I swore I’d leave it behind

I can smell the rain from that night in June

When forever felt like it came too soon

Pre-Chorus

I’m letting the fire take what’s left of you here

But I can’t shake the thought you’re doing the same, somewhere

Chorus

Letters in the ashes, falling through my hands

Pages turning red like the love we had

Every promise we made, every line we signed

Going up in smoke, one match at a time

I’m burning you away, but I can’t help but ask

Are your letters in the ashes too?

Bridge

Maybe you kept them, locked in a drawer

Maybe you burned them, can’t take them no more

But I’ll never know, and maybe that’s right

Some truths are meant to stay lost in the night

Final Chorus

Letters in the ashes, drifting through my hands

Pages turning red like the love we had

Every promise we made, every line we signed

Going up in smoke, one match at a time

I’m burning you away, but I can’t help but ask

Are your letters in the ashes too?

Outro

The fire fades slow, and I’m left in the dark

But the smoke still knows the shape of your heart
